Leistungen A-Z

Do you operate an installation that requires approval under immission control legislation, for which you already have approval under immission control legislation, and are you planning to carry out repowering measures on this installation?

Repowering measures serve to modernize an installation for the purpose of generating electricity from renewable energies.

This repowering measure can have adverse effects in relation to the current state of the installation. If these are significant for the approval requirements of the installation requiring approval, a modification permit is required.

Therefore, corresponding changes to installations requiring approval must be reviewed by the immission control authority. To do this, you must submit an application for a modification permit and submit all the documents required for the assessment. The application can be made in writing or electronically.

The modification permit is granted if:

it is ensured that the obligations arising from the requirements of the Federal Immission Control Act and the Federal Immission Control Ordinance are fulfilled and

other public law regulations and occupational health and safety concerns do not conflict with the construction and operation of the system.

A permit for wind turbines in the context of repowering may also not be refused if, after modernization, not all immission guide values of the technical instructions for protection against noise are complied with, but

the immission contribution of the wind turbine after modernization is lower than the immission contribution of the wind turbines it replaces and

the wind turbine corresponds to the state of the art.
